Incredible guitarist and DJ for our wedding!

Jake was fantastic! From start to finish he was extremely professional and organized. But of course the highlight was on our wedding day listening to him play-just awesome! He helped us to customize our song selection for the ceremony and reception and then we switched to DJ mode for some dancing fun! Guests were able to make requests which we loved. Highly recommend Jake for your wedding or any other event! We will be having him back for future parties!
